Antimicrobial properties of plant fibers for biomedical applications
Nowadays, in the world of materials, there is an increasing demand for biopolymers that replace their synthetic pairs. One alternative is plant fibers, which are largely used by its availability, biocompatibility and degradability characteristic. However, antimicrobial properties of plant fibers hav...

| description | Nowadays, in the world of materials, there is an increasing demand for biopolymers that replace their synthetic pairs. One alternative is plant fibers, which are largely used by its availability, biocompatibility and degradability characteristic. However, antimicrobial properties of plant fibers have not been reported, usually, this biopolymer is modified with antibacterial agents, metals or blends to give it antimicrobial activity. The objective of this research was to test fibers from several plants to find antimicrobial properties based on physical, chemical and morphological characteristics. For this purpose, the plant fibers were characterized in order to know their structure and composition using common techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Antimicrobial and inhibitory tests were performed against Escherichia coli in Yachay Tech. The results indicate two of seven fiber studied shown inhibitory properties, this research could have a significant impact on biomedical applications. |

Una alternativa podría ser fibras plantas, las cuales son mayormente usadas por sus características de disponibilidad, biocompatibilidad y degradabilidad. Sin embargo, propiedades antimicrobiales de las fibras de plantas no han sido reportadas, generalmente este biopolímero es modificado con un agente antibacterial, metales o mezclas para darle actividad antimicrobial. El objetivo de esta investigación fue probar fibras de diferentes plantas para encontrar propiedades antimicrobiales basado en sus propiedades físicas, químicas y morfológicas. Para este propósito, las fibras de plantas fueron caracterizadas para conocer su estructura y composición usando técnicas comunes como difracción de rayos x (XRD), espectroscopia de infrarrojos por transformada de Fourier (FT-IR) y microscopia electrónica de barrido (SEM). Pruebas antibacteriales y de inhibición con Escherichia coli fueron realizadas en Yachay Tech. Los resultados indicaron que dos de las siete fibras estudiadas mostraron propiedades inhibitorias, esta investigación podría tener un significativo impacto en aplicaciones biomédicas.Ingeniero/a Biomédico/aUniversidad de Investigación de Tecnología Experimental YachayAlexis, FrankSantiago, Nelson2019-09-17T12:03:05Z2019-09-17T12:03:05Z2019-08info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisapplication/pdfhttp://repositorio.yachaytech.edu.ec/handle/123456789/94engclosedAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositorio Universidad Yachay Techinstname:Universidad Yachay Techinstacron:Yachay2025-07-08T17:50:04Zoai:repositorio.yachaytech.edu.ec:123456789/94Institucionalhttps://repositorio.yachaytech.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://www.yachaytech.edu.ec/https://repositorio.yachaytech.edu.ec/oaiEcuador...opendoar:102842025-07-08T17:50:04falseInstitucionalhttps://repositorio.yachaytech.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://www.yachaytech.edu.ec/https://repositorio.yachaytech.edu.ec/oai.Ecuador...opendoar:102842025-07-08T17:50:04Repositorio Universidad Yachay Tech - Universidad Yachay Techfalse |
